"One of the best things about Using Your Head To Manage Conflict is that it is so short and concise and I didn't have to wade through 200 pages to get the exact information I needed to manage conflicts more intelligently and effectively. I review it whenever I anticipate disagreement at work."

When we get emotional, even slightly, research in psychology tells us that we tend to think less, and react more. That's what gets us into trouble when there is disagreement or conflict, no matter what the cause, no matter whether at home at the office. An overwhelming amount of conflict escalates because one or both parties gets mad, starts to react rather than think, and says or does things that make things much worse.

It's simply time to start thinking. Start using your head to manage conflict. And, we have a tool to help you.

Using Your Head To Manage Conflict Helpcard is a summary of the major methods you can use to manage conflict in your life. Why is this important? First, because each conflict situation is different and needs to handled differently, if the outcome is to be positive. Second, because most people only use one method of conflict management, and miss the others. I want YOU to have all the techniques available, and I want you to know which ones to use in which situations.

"Obviously you can't pull out a helpcard in the middle of an argument, but you can prepare yourself when you know there'll be issues, or before meetings. It's amazing how focusing on thinking and conflict options helps you keep a clear, rational head."


Making intelligent choices about when to ignore conflict, when to stand your ground, or negotiate and collaborate is the key to turning conflict from destructive into a constructive event.

What You'll Learn About Conflict Management

: Written by conflict expert author Robert Bacal, Using Your Head To Manage Conflict Helpcard maps out the basics of managing conflict in an intelligent way, explains the steps of rational conflict management and explains the advantages and disadvantages of various approaches to conflict management.

"I keep a copy on my desk where I can see it. It reminds me I have choices when conflict occurs. The methods are great, and so is learning how to analyse situations, but the best is I now feel I can control conflict situations and not act impulsively (well, most of the time)."
